to be down to minus 35. that includes parts of west virginia and areas like pennsylvania as well as into new york. so we're going to be cold as we go through the next couple days. we are going to see a little warmup and potential for some areas to deal with hypothermia and frostbite. you want to make sure you're really bunld willing up outside. the other story, we're dealing with snow. some of that coming down through parts of eastern massachusetts. you can see cape cod as well as into areas. really just north of boston. we are going to look at potential between one and three inches of snowfall as we go through about 1:00 this afternoon. but, of course, the real action is the lake effect that's stirring up right along lake michigan as well as lake erie and ontario. we're talking some of these locations we could see one to three feet of snow when all is said and done. as we go through today, we're talking four to six inches and along the eastern shores for areas including cleveland, lake erie. we're talking about some of these locations roughly about 10

to 20 inches of snowfall as we go through the day. and look at some of the totals already. in 24 hours, in erie, pennsylvania, they picked up 24 inches of snow. now that cold air, as i said, is in place across the east. imagine if the inauguration was today where the temperature is only going to be 25 for the average high should be 43. we're talking 30 degrees below average. actual actually zorida, where is she? >> sun dance. utah. no, wyoming. >> it's warmer in utah. i remember she was bragging about going to sun dance. >> i don't know where i am let alone her. she's out there somewhere and it's cold, right? >> very cold. stay warm. >> thank you. this is new york, yesterday was washington. >> and i'm john. >> your name is john. i'm cross-i i'm christine. the world's most eligible bachelor is back home today. it's not john better man. he's revealing new details about killing members of the taliban. we'll sit down with him after this quick break.

u.s. stock futures are mixed. another big week for corporate earnings. we're going to get fresh home sales numbers at 10:00 a.m. >> the big story is the world economic forum kicks off today in davos, switzerland. our chief business correspondent is there. ali velshi, i love that hat.

this year's theme is resilient dine mix. what does that mean? >> reporter: why do you have to ask me the tough questions? i have no idea what that means. in fact, those gathered here have been discussing this ad nauseam for the couple days, what on earth could that mean? by the way, one of the producers said this looks like a fake backdrop. this is not. this is davos. the snow will be coming down in the little while. it is the highest city in europe. this event has been going on for 40 years. a lot of bars and restaurants. one of them has a picture of you celebrating a birthday some years ago here in davos. a lot of big things happened here. this was started 40 years ago that was started by a professor of the university of geneva. he wanted european companies to learn american management techniques which were much more advanced at the time. he wanted them to understand the whole concept of stake holders.

that is not just the shareholders and customers but also the employees, the community in which you live, the country in which you operate. so now this became a gathering of corporate leaders and royalty and kings and prime ministers. they're all here, about 2500 of them. hundreds of journalists. even some leaders who aren't, like everybody is here, christine. this is a weird gathering. and they come up with a theme. the last several years the themes have been about dealing with these crisis in 2008 and 2009, the big financial crisisment then the european crisis in 2011 and 2012. now they came up with resilient dynamism. he said we are dynamic as a world. a lot of echos from president obama's inaugural speech yesterday. not entirely clear what it means. there will be hundreds of sessions through the course of the next few days and then lots and lots of informal meetings between leaders. this is a tight town. and in theory, the leaders of the world will leave energized and thinking about the future

and saying it's not all doom and gloom, stop watching the news. there are great things going on out there. >> let me ask you this question. i know they're talking about this, austerity. has austerity gone too far? >> yes. >> has spending too much and higher taxes sapped growth when you're starving for growth? >> reporter: yeah. and christine lagard, the former french finance minister is here. she and others said, yes, it's gone too far. it is stunted growth. while cutting debt, while cutting expenses, it has had the opposite infect. rather than creating growth and creating an environment for businesses to invest because they think governments are being responsible, things have slowed down so much there's been so much unemployment, 11.6% in the euro zone than it's having the opposite effect. we have to find a more dalan ba approach to how we go forward. europe has a disproportionate influence of this conversation. there is a conversation particularly vis-a-vis the

united states as to how much is too much and how much austerity, how much in terms of cutting back is actually enough, christine? >> really nice to see you. when you run into indiana jones, he can have his hat back. nice to see you. >> how many bars are there over the world that have pictures of you in them? >> no, i turned 28 at a davos -- last year -- and it was one of the best birthdays ever. first time i ever ran into kings and bankers and princesses. it's really an interesting .01% of the global leaders. >> with the official public swearing inform the president all done, you know that, small matter over, the really big news of the day -- what was she wearing? look at that lovely red dress. this is not just a big story, it is epic. we'll have it coming up. but if you're looking at the house right now, you can watch us any time on your desktop or mobile phone.

seneca falls and selma and stonewall -- >> from civil rights to gay rights, president obama sets his radar or civil liberties for all americans. >> plus, the most anticipated red dress of the decade. heck, i'm going to go with ever. first lady michelle obama is a hit at the inaugural ball. and we're tracking a great white shark off east coast of the united states right now. that story is straight ahead. welcome back to "early start." i'm christine romans. i'm in for zorida today.

>> i'm john better man. it is 30 minutes past the hour right now. president obama serving up his vision for his second term. it was an 18, 19-minute inaugural address on martin luther king day. he mentioned pivotal civil rights struggles of the past. >> we, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths that all of us are created equal is the star that guides us still, just as it guided our forebearers throh seneca falls and selma and stonewall. >> he also laid out his vision for the future advancing gay rights, tolerance towards illegal immigrants and preserving social welfare programs and stopping climate change. he specifically singled that out. white house correspondent dan loathian was in washington for the whole thing. the president's speech talked a lot about our common heritage and made a lot of historical references, the constitution and declaration of independence. do you think the references

resonated? >> reporter: well, the president certainly hopes they resonate. the president referring to two giants that he reveers, abraham lincoln, martin luther king jr. he often quotes from them. so his speech was very much rooted in the past. but he tried to move it forward and make it relevant in the present. >> we have always understood that when times change, so must we. that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges, preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action. >> now, john, the president delivered his speech in a much different climate than he faced four years ago when he came into office then. he was dealing with two wars. he was facing the financial crisis. this time, the president was really looking forward, trying to piece together his agenda, a progressive agenda for the next four years. >> you know, the president made

history in his speech. the first ever real reference to gay rights in an inauguration. he singled out climate change by name and actually got more ink than any other issue in the speech. what is the significance? >> reporter: these are things the president did not really deal with a lot in his first term. yes, he did evolve on the issue of gay marriage. but things like climate change, you did not hear a lot about that at all. there were hispanics that were not happy with the president because he made big promises about immigration reform in his first term. that is something he was not able to do. so what the president is essentially doing is setting the table to deliver on some of these things that he was not able to do in his first term. take a listen. >> reporter: our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law. for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be

equal as well. >> again, that reference getting a lot of attention because it's believed that that is the first time that a president has talked about gay rights in an inauguration speech. john. >> now, it is not a universally popular speech though, dan, as you can imagine. he is receiving some criticism. the president is from the right. "the wall street journal" calling this speech "we the government." >> reporter: that's right. some republicans yesterday did not want to be very critical because this was a very historic day. they wanted to keep it very positive. they talked about this being a fresh start for the president. but you look at the "wall street journal" and a piece saying "president obama wants more government. in his second inaugural address, he masked the message with phrases like collective action and doing things together but these were standing uchl mixes really for a bigger and more ambitious federal government. that's the unmy takable goal of a second term and his inaugural address devoted to his determination to achieve it." everyone is looking and hoping

for a new start for a lot of bipartisanship over the next four years. but clearly i think you'll see some of the tones that rolled out in first term. >> so where does that new start start? what do we expect today? tomorrow? the first few weeks? >> reporter: well, you know, today starts with prayer service and perhaps that's needed as the president faces the next four years. he heads to the national cathedral where you have an interfaith service where prayers are offered up not only for the president but also for the vice president. this is tradition that dates all the way back to fdr, john. >> all right, dan loathian, so nice to see you this morning. so as expected, style and fashion at the inaugural ceremonies did not disappoint one little bit. here is our resident fashionista, alina cho. >> ladies and gentlemen, my better half and my dance partner, michelle obama. >> reporter: if watching first lady michelle obama's fashion choices is a sport, the

inauguration is the super bowl. fashion's biggest prize. when mrs. obama emerged in a ruby red chiffon and velvet gown, the fashion world was atwitter. who designed it? the world now knows, the answer is jason wu, again. this response from wu on twitter, in shock! shows he was just as surprised this time as he was four years ago. >> take me to that moment where she walked out. >> i mean i was screaming. i was like, it's me. it's really brilliant what she's done in keeping it a secret. in the previous administrations, while there is always interest in what the first lady wore, it was never this red carpet moment. >> reporter: red was definitely on her mind. this is an exclusive look at jason wu's sketch of the obama gown. and clearly, there was something here that caught the first lady's eye n choosing wu, she

once again puts the taiwanese designer on the biggest world stage. not to be forgotten, there was another outfit on display. the one the first lady wore on inauguration morning. her choice this time, coat and dress by american designer tom brown. we tracked him down at his hotel in paris. celebrating the moment. >> can you never predict, you know, life to happen this way. i'm just so fortunate. i'm so honored and so proud that she's -- she chose mine. >> for this occasion, the 47-year-old designer chose fabric for the first lady based on men's silk ties. >> i had an idea that the president would be wearing navy. so i wanted to do something that would -- that she would look really good with him. and i chose a dark navy pattern which is a tisilk jacquard fabr that i have used in my men's

collection. >> for this designer, this moment represents name recognition, a potential for big business and largely he has one woman to thank. >> style coming from me is somebody that has that confidence to be able to be their own person and be that true individual that they are and i think she definitely will go down in history as that. >> clearly the first lady making her mark on fashion history. we'll have the designer of first lady michelle obama's dress live in our 9:00 a.m. hour. stay tuned for that. >> she is fashion. >> i know. >> crazy. the sundance film festival is in full swing this week. we have a roert lieporter live and she's going to tell us about the hottest movies this year and just how cold it is out in utah. , with fancy feast mornings gourmet cat food.

mornings are delicious protein rich entrees with garden veggies and egg. fancy feast mornings. the best ingredient is love. hi, i'm ensure clear... clear, huh? i'm not juice or fancy water. i've got nine grams of protein. that's three times more than me! [ female announcer ] ensure clear. nine grams protein. zero fat. in blueberry/pomegranate and peach. a regular guy with an irregular heartbeat. the usual, bob? not today. [ male announcer ] bob has afib: atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem, a condition that puts him at greater risk for a stroke. [ gps ] turn left. i don't think so. [ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin, and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but not anymore. bob's doctor recommended a different option: once-a-day xarelto®. xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem,

that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes. new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions, bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop.

tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. ready to change your routine? ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. for more information including cost support options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.

much of hollywood has mi dr migrated to utah for the sun dance film festival. we have a look at this year's festival. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. i'm really excited to be here. this is the 35th anniversary of sundance. where we are this morning, christine, is on a balcony and overlooking where it all began. it's hard to see at this hour of the morning. it is exactly 3:42 in the morning here. the egyptian theater is right over my left shoulder. and that's where this all got started 35 years ago. so let me set the scene for you. i have pictures to show you around 45,000 people have come and gathered here. it's a ten-day festival. it's really hard to get in and out of here because the crowds are just incredible. even when i was headed in this morning at a ridiculous hour of the morning, the crowds were still all over the place.

it is almost 50% of the films. they said had is really going to be a story when in fact it's no longer a story. and it's just commonplace. so let me share some more details with you. i'm cheating here because there is so much information. 119 films from 32 different countries are going to be viewed here. one of the things that people are talking about is women in film. we're going to have a chance to visit with a lot of women. one of the films that is directed by a woman is "austin land." this is getting a lot of buzz here at sundance. it not only has a female director, the producer is stephanie meyer of "twilight" fame. the film is generating so much buzz. it is a romantic comedy about a 30 something-year-old woman who is obsessed with all things jane austin. she ends up visiting an austin themed british resort. the owner is played by actress jane seymour and we had a chance

to catch with up. >> i think the idea of austin land, a place can you really go back in time and i can imagine people wanting to do that. they did it nicel lnicely. my character is a bit mean. >> and we have a little bit of good news to share with you, sony pictures, classics just announced a deal for them. they will release the film in the summer. it is one of the first breakout films of the sun dance film festival. we'll continue to watch them all for you. i'm sure there will be many more. >> all right. >> tom and christine? >> that sounds like a really fun assignment. have a good time. have a very nice time. >> so fabulous. she fits right into the fabulousness of sundance. >> she is so hollywood. >> it's 20 degrees warmer than where it will be in new york city. 45 minutes after the hour right now. if you needed something else to worry about this morning, a great white shark is hanging out off the east coast. we're going to track that beast for you and we'll have that story after the quick break.

let's get you up to date on headlines. president obama plays encourager in chief, telling the american people, we are made for this moment. during his 18-minute inaugural speech on martin luther king day, he made mention of several pivotal civil rights battles, seneca falls, selma and

stonewall. how is this for a wakeup call? a woman from st. george, utah, is lucky to be alive after a large boulder came crashing through her bedroom. this happened early saturday morning. wanda denhalter suffered a broken jaw and sternum and leg injuries. her husband was not home at the time. a geologist warned them that cliff above their rented home appears to be unstable. a surfer found himself stuck between a rock and hard place monday in san francisco. that's right. somehow, yep, he ended atop seal rock off ocean beach. rescue crews couldn't reach him by boat. the surf her to carefully jump into the water where coast guard swimmers were waiting below. the surfer then paddled over to the rescue boat. a terrifying few moments, no doubt, for that surfer. >> we have another ocean story for you. teeth like razors and big enough to bite you in half. a massive great white shark is right off the coast of north

carolina's outer banks right now. we're going to show you a picture of her in september. incredible video from o-search pulling her out of the water near cape cod. they tag her with a tracker and let her go and nicknamed her mary lee. we told you about mary lee two weeks ago. at the time, o search tracked her within 200 yards of jacksonville beach off florida. they had to call and warn the people of jacksonville she was so close to the beach. she's been a very busy girl since then. mary lee traveled hundreds of miles north and now very close to north carolina's outer banks near hateras. you can follow her any time you want. just go to o search's website. chris fisher is the founder of o search. he's been calling authorities when mary lee gets too close for comfort. now it seems a little too close for comfort off the coast of north carolina, chris. >> yeah, good morning, john. i was shocked again yesterday when she was very near a place

in north carolina. now she rounded hateras. phenomenal to see her movements throughout the southeast. she is shocking all of us, including the scientists. in the last week she's moved from charleston up the beach to myrtle beach. she's rounded cape fear, cape lookout and now at hateras. you know, really expecting her to turn back south. it's a little bit too early in the winter for i guess a snow shark to be heading north. we feel like she'll head south again. but really no one knows. this is the first time we've ever been able to do this. >> part of what you do is warn people which the sharks you track get too close to shore. why do you do that? how close did she get this time? >> well, i mean our primary purpose in this is research, to figure out where they're breeding and where they're giving birth to protect those areas. but come on, when you have the kind of data when a 16 foot mature white shark that's over 3500 pounds comes close to a populated area, i feel an o obligation to call. yesterday she was very close to

the shore, either right on the beach right in front of it or actually inside the sound nearby. a few hours later, she popped out off shore. she was very near there. and so i did pick up the phone again yesterday, called authorities and it was an amusing experience calling the authorities there. they were very excited about it. he said well you are calling me just to tell me there is a big shark on the beach or do i need to do something? i'm like, no, just calling to tell you there's a big shark off the beach. they went about handling their own business there. >> is it unusual for a shark to move like this? why do you think mary lee might be doing it? >> well, you know, i was thinking about that last night. when we captured mary lee off cape cod, a coast guard helicopter was hovering over a massive shark coming out of the bay there. and about 45 minutes later we actually saw mary lee at our research vessel and tagged her. i was thinking about that last night. when you look at her track over the past two weeks from jacksonville beach which you mentioned earlier to where she is off hateras, she is exploring

the coast and going in and out and very near a lot of estuaries and river mouths. so i think this is quite common for mary lee. she seems to like those kind of estuary river mouth areas where jeannie is off the coast of savannah about 40 miles off the beach. and that's where i think we all thought mary lee and jeannie would be probably exploiting opportunities while northern white whales are giving birth. mary lee is coastal. we're wondering if she's looking for seals off hateras. you know, since mat reen mammal protection act 40 years ago, a lot of the seal populations have begun to rebound. maybe mary lee is exploiting that and cape cod in the summer. >> just one quickly for those coming into the story. how did you give her the name mary lee again? >> mary lee is named after my mom. she's giddy about it. she's asking about her every day. mary lee has become the rock star of sharks. she's the most famous fish that's ever lived now.

>> all right, chris fisher, thanks so much for keeping us up to speed on mary lee. it is fascinating to track her movements. great to see you again this morning. >> and what an hommage after your mother to name a big scary shark after mom. a packed hour ahead on "early start" including the best and worst to inauguration day from flubs and bangs and the highlight reel that has everything covered for you and a football wife goes off on twitter after the patriots get bounced by the baltimore ravens. apparently she's tired of hearing about the retiring ray lewis and wants to remind people about his sketchy past. but first, the littlest member of the first family stealing the show.

ali, every year davos has a theme. this year is resilient dynamism. what does that mean? >> no idea. i guess it's better than saying this year it's not europe's fault, it will be america's fault if things don't work. i guess it's better than saying through the financial crisis and the european debt crisis, we're still standing. it doesn't scream ideas about the future schshg is what davos is about. it was started in 1951 by a professor in geneva. this is very hard to get to. this isn't a back drop, this isn't fake, it's real. normally it's snowing. it's where you come for ideas. world business leaders, academics, intellectuals.

the theme doesn't seem to be ash a central issue, more broadly about the fact that the world is resilient. i don't really know what dynamic resilience means, but some way of moving forward in the midst of all political problems in the united states or europe, and the sense that the founder gave us was that there really are ideas. there are things moving forward and this renaissance on the horizon you and i talk about, particularly in the united states. there seems to be a bottoming out of problems in europe. but still real issues, governments are a big part of it. that's the kind of discussion we'll have all week with global leaders, political and business. >> they'll be talking about austerity and whether it's gone too far spending cuts, higher taxes. they are talking about this. >> we are three years into the discussion about europe and its debt crisis, and austerity and now back to the u.s.

conversation about spending cuts in order to get the deficit under control and there are a lot of people, including the head of the imf who say look at europe's example to say america, don't go too far, you could slow growth down to the point it doubles down on itself. it starts to make things worse because more people are out of work, not paying taxes, they become recipients of government aid and you're not generating economic growth, the kind that creates jobs, so i think that will be one focus. the other focus is trust. does anybody trust anybody anymore? do we trust our governments to make the right decisions, our employers to make the right decision? i hope i have more time to talk about it in between the swarees. >> i trust alli, and i trust yo. what is the one thing i need to

he mentioned stonewall, the new york city bar, the first sight of open resistance by gay americans and the first president to mention it directly. listen. >> our journ ooh is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are created like everyone else under the law. >> the president made history there. >> i liked the previous clip when he connected seneca and stonewall. highest rhetorical flourish as well. more than just symbolic. connecting the threats of liberal progressive behavior and says this is where the future is. and this is the speech a lot of people wanted to hear four years ago, much more about compromise and working together and fixing politics. we tried that, didn't quite work, this is what i stand for, and follow me. >> a different president than four years ago. >> much different. not just more gray hair, but

much more seasoned, a little cynical about the process, but not about the country's future. i was very impressed with the way he captured the moment. which is not an easy thing to do. >> reagan for liberalism, and conservatives say this is a big government manifesto. i want to read you something from the "wall street journal" here. president obama wants more government. he masked the message with phrases like collective action and doing things together. these were standing euphemisms really for bigger government. and this is the unmistakable goal of his second term, and his inaugural address was devoted to determination. >> that's what you would expect. some really progressive, interesting thoughts. but against the back drop we have a crushing deficit and debt. long-term entitlement problems and it's within the confines of

an ever-shrinking government. and talked more about fiscal stuff. not debt and unemployment. more on the social side, which was interesting. >> and eight lines about climate change in there. was that -- to be on record, or is that part of his legacy? >> i think it was to be on record. the one part of the speech, the middle part felt like state of the union, ticked off very specific things, talking to specifically his base. there was climate change, and gay rights and other things, so i think part of it was to be on the record, made sure he said it. the focus won't be on climate change. it will be about a new progressive america, his vision. liberals wanted to hear the speech. >> how much time to make his legacy? >> 18 months until september of next year when the mid terms start and after that, he becomes a lame duck. >> thank you so much. >> 34 minutes after the hour. the first latina to perform the swearing in oath.

later, soledad has an hoo-depth interview with sonia sotomayor, and why she says you cannot have it all. >> the possibility of having it all, it's a myth we would do well to abandon. >> the thought at every moment of your day you could feel equally fulfilled, i think is what the word i use there, pernicious. it's ridiculous. style and fashion so much a part of last night. exploding everywhere you looked. michelle obama may have outdone herself this time with another masterpiece by jason wu. alaina cho with reaction from the fashion world. >> ladies and gentlemen, my better half and my dance partner. >> reporter: if watching first lady michelle obama's fashion choices is a sport, then the

inauguration is a super bowl. fashion's biggest prize. when mrs. obama emerged in a ruby red chiffon and velvet gown, the fashion world was a twitter. who designed it? the answer, jason wu, again. this response from wu on twitter, #inshock. shows he was just as surprised this time as he was four years ago. take me to that moment, when she walked out. >> i was screaming at the top of my lungs, that's me. >> it's brilliant where she has kept it a secret. where there was interest in previous first ladies what they wore, there was never this read carpet moment. >> red was on her mind. this is an exclusive look at the sketch of the jason wu gown. in choosing wu, she once again puts the taiwanese born designer
